No, I think honesty in ALL cases is the best. Just use a lot of tact and mindfulness when saying things that might hurt someone's feelings.
Me and my partner try to always be honest. And yeah, sometimes my feelings get hurt, but I would rather have him tell me I look like a cow in the outift I am wearing than letting me go out looking like crap. Or I would rather here that I am being annoying than him just ignoring me.
The key is both people need to have enough confidence in themselves, each other, and their relationship to say that just because you told me something I didnt want to hear doesnt mean you meant to hurt me or that you are going to leave me, you just needed to be honest.

it truly relies on the defective assumption that a woman is truly not specifically attempting to get suitable right into a chum's pants. There seems to be an concept that a woman is truly not interested in a male chum sexually, or has a extra robust resilience against infidelity. gazing the placement nonetheless, a woman's male chum is a guy and we come complete circle to the area a guy has a woman chum. in this diagnosis curiously that the question isn't universally perfect. edit - I agree Jonmcn49, so 'on regular' there'll be a extremely equivalent volume of jealousy from the two components, with separate origins. How does this handle the 'cultural' question of females human beings questioning it okay to have male friends and not vice-versa (regardless of if or not it extremely is a real certainty)?

In my experience, the 3 essentials of a good relationship are communication, honesty, and trust. If he can't accept these things, then the relationship is probably doomed to fail eventually.
Maybe you simply have a problem with tactfulness. Do you say things like "wow you are such a fat slob"? You can be honest and still be tactful. If something you say can be taken as potentially hurtful, then use careful consideration in how you say it.
If you still can't communicate without fighting, then move on to the next guy.

Why should you keep ur mouth shut? if you cant say whatever is on your mind without getting into a 'huge mess' (as u call it) is it then worth being in that relationship. You should speak your mind and speak the truth!

Sometimes communication feels bad in the short term, but in the long run it is crucial.
I was out with some other women, discussing how unhappy I was with my marriage, and how I was thinking about leaving. I hadn't realised my wife had called and my phone in my pocket accidentally answered - she heard everything. I naturally assumed that I was a dead man walking, and yes she was upset at first, but it also forced her to deal with the issues in our relationship and how she treated me that were making me feel like that - we got all our problems out in the open.

Well probably when we are too honest, its hurtful to our partners.
I feel honesty is a good thing, but some areas need a delicate touch.....

It depends on how you say things, or if you know that you are pushing his buttons.
